Love
Its V Day + 1. Wanted to post something on Vday itself but oh well, like you really care eh? -)
So, I want to talk about love today, not so much about what I know but rather what I dont.
What is Love?
But if anyone were to ask, "Eh JS, are you in Love?", I would say yes because I feel I am -in Love-. But how do I know my idea of -Love- is Love, or that the dood who asked me the question has the same notion of Love as I do? Love, even when confined to the context of BGR, can have so many different interpretations. Some people think Love is about the sweet nothings couples whisper to one another, some think its more about the words that need not be said. Some see Love as a sense of security, some see it as a path to escape from reality. Some feel that Love is only worth making*blink*, yet some feel Love is in a realm far, far beyond physical attraction. Then again, some see Love in a car plate(if you dont geddit, you werent meant to), Love in a diamond ring or even in a simple flower. I dont know what Love is, do you?
Why Love?
Why do we all look for Love? Granted, most of us are also looking for money, friends, donations.... etc etc, but we know exactly what those things are. Why are we searching high and low for something we know nothing about? Why do we feel empty when we cant find it and how does Love fill the gaps? Why do so many people say that Love "completes" them, that it makes them whole? How can you be "filled" not knowing what it is that filled you? I admit, she does make me feel complete, but the funny thing is, I do not know why.
Does it Matter?
So many things I dont know about Love, and yet I hold on to it so dearly. Maybe understanding what Love is isnt a prerequisite to loving someone. Maybe Love does not need a reason. Maybe its an instinct, a primal need. Or maybe it is not meant to be understood. You know how knowing why some things happen make them a little less beautiful? Like how magic tricks seem so much cooler before you find out how they work? Maybe not knowing what Love is is what makes it so beautiful.
